Alec Baldwin is facing further legal battles after being sued by three Rust crew members.
Mere days after the 64-year-old actor pleaded not guilty to two charges of involuntary manslaughter over the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42 in October 2021, he now faces a new lawsuit over the tragedy from film workers who say they were left physically and emotionally traumatised by the incident.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, the trio - made up of crew and the film’s producers - claimed they have and continue to suffer anxiety and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder after the fatal shooting of Hutchins.
The plaintiffs in the suit are dolly operator Ross Addiego, set costume Doran Curtin and key grip Reese Price, who were in the church on the set of the neo-Western at Bonanza Creek Ranch, New Mexico, when Baldwin’s gun went off, killing Hutchins and striking and wounding director Joel Souza.
